To the Editor, The New York Times;
Pro-Life is Really Pro-death.
In the article " Cain Opens Himself Up To Questions on Abortion" ( The Times, Friday, October 21, Page A 26 ) it seems obvious that Mr. Cain, although professing his belief that " life begins at conception--- and abortion under no circumstances", is appeasing conservative Evangelical Christians for political reasons. Later on however, he states that "The government shouldn't be trying to tell people everything to do", leaving the decision about ending a pregnancy a "choice the family or that mother has to make". Mr Cain has more compassion than so-called religious conservatives---he wants to save the life of mothers! Before Roe vs Wade approximately 15,000 pregnant women died every year from botched illegal and self-induced coat hanger abortions. In the 35 years since that ruling, about 500,000 women's lives have been saved. If Roe vs Wade were repealed, this statistic would soon become tragically repeated. ( About 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage (i.e. spontaneous abortion ) Are they God's abortions?) The product of miscarriages are routinely thrown in the medical waste. If they were living beings, why aren't they baptized and given Christian burials?
